A HUGE thank-you to our amazing secretaries for all of the hard work, patience, and dedication you have shown getting our students registered and ready for the 2026–2027 school year!

From answering questions and assisting families to processing registrations and working through countless details, you have played a tremendous role in helping us get the school year off to a great start.

Parents and students, as we prepare for the start of school, we'd like to remind you that all student drop off and pickup needs to take place in front (west) of CHS. The drive and lot behind (east) of CHS is for bus drop off and pickup and staff parking only. The increase in traffic from parents attempting to use the east side causes delays in bussing and poses danger to staff and students. We kindly ask that everyone use the green drop off loop pictured below.
Thank you!
